Firefly returns to Tarneit

The Firefly market is returning to Tarneit.

Taking place at Penrose Place between 4-9pm on Saturday, September 20, there will be market stalls, live music, cultural performances and plenty of other things to immerse yourself in.

Rest assured, every continent will be represented by more than 70 market stalls from which locals will be offering gifts, jewellery, art, clothing and locally made sweets.

Adding to the culinary diversity will be food trucks providing sweet and savoury delights that cater to all with gluten free, halal and vegan options.

Among the highlights will be light installations, fire shows, and roving performers.

If they don’t excite kids, there will also be a series of dedicated activities for youngsters.

This year will feature a large-scale wooden fire sculpture designed to burn safely and spectacularly.

The structure, in the shape of a candle, combines recycled materials, clever airflow design, and controlled flame display for a dramatic visual experience.

As well as the artistic sculpture, a second steel firepit will provide a steady source of warmth, creating a welcoming gathering point for attendees.

The event is free and run by Wyndham council, so all are encouraged to bring the family, catch up with friends and enjoy a vibrant night of entertainment while supporting locals.

The night market is alcohol free, but BYO food is permitted.

Parking is available but patrons are encouraged to catch public transport via the 167 bus, or walk.
